The Challenge
The customer required consistent, large-scale production of sheet metal components with a focus on efficiency and cost reduction.
High-volume repeatability requirements
Inefficient punching setups increasing cycle time
Labour-intensive welding requiring linishing
Inefficiencies in paint handling and finishing
Lack of optimisation for repeat batch production
The Solution
Arben delivered a fully optimised production solution with strategic investment in tooling, processes and finishing.
Production Engineering & Tooling
Investment in bespoke cluster tooling for CNC punching, multiple features produced in a single hit, reduced cycle times and improved consistency.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Streamlined punching operations, maintained tight tolerances, optimised workflow for repeat production.
Laser Welding Innovation
Introduced laser welding for seams, eliminated need for linishing, faster welding speeds and cleaner finishes.
In-House Powder Coating
Bespoke paint jigs designed, improved handling efficiency, fully integrated in-house finishing.
THE OUTCOME
Optimised high-volume production
Reduced cycle times
Improved quality and consistency
Faster throughput
KEY RESULTS
Approx 13% cost reduction
Increased efficiency
Repeatable high-volume output
Reduced lead times
Reduced labour and secondary operations
